Trying to get MP3's off Yahoo

I don't think it's going to get any better. Yahoo, it seems, cuts off
downloads after a preset number of minutes. Irritatingly, it sends
a signal that the download is complete and error-free, yet the file is
a small fraction of what it should be. When you try again, it cuts off
at almost exactly the same place every time.

It's clear from all the excitement generated that there are some
interesting fragments that've been posted to this list. Does anybody
have some web space on a more conventional web server where this problem
doesn't exist? That'd help those of us with slow connections experience
this music.

Thanks!

get diddly from them.
